I fear my co workers or boss will discover the problems I'm having and I'll lose my job. In this busy life, distraction is normal. I write notes and reminders and sets alarms in my phone if I remember to or don't get distracted. I will tell someone I will check on something and call them back and if I get interrupted before I speak to them again, I forget. I can't retain computer programs or where to go to find what. Now at the age of 50, 25 years later I am having bigger issues with my memory that frightens me and I would love to learn about treatment. I must ask and enter in computer and write it down and still no memory of it the next day. Since the accident I can not remember names. Little specks of memory piece by piece and the majority was back. When I awoke 17 days after I didn't believe I was in an accident eventhough I was still in hospital. Brain bleed and sever swelling along with collapsed lung. I still do not any events of that day or months that led up to the accident. I am looking for another job now because my current work environment is not a pleasant environment even for a person without my issues. For me, I repeat things a lot, can process a little slower, and have some peripheral vision loss. My only issue I have been struggling with in recent years is that you feel you need to announce to everyone you work with that you had a brain injury/surgery, so you are not in the rumor mill for being slower than other employees and have other mild issues that normal people may think is odd. I just found this site today and am glad to learn more. The internet wasn't around to help me realize that others were going through the same things. I have managed to do good in school and my career by self-creating my own techniques to help remember things and improve my ability to perform tasks. I have struggled on my own over the years, not knowing the issues I experienced were not normal. I did well on all the post surgery cognitive and related tests at the time. 30 years ago I went through the last of three surgeries in my early twenties to remove scar tissue on my right temporal lobe that caused epilepsy.
